My dad has checked another task off of the Daddy Do List. He built these spectacular raised beds for me last year. It's been wonderful having these to plant vegetables in. This year I asked him to build me a cold frame or a top for one of the boxes so I can plant fall/winter vegetables and get a head start on spring veggies.

Once again, dad came through. He built these hinged tops with a plexiglass window to allow the light in. The have snazzy handles for lifting the 2 pieces, as well as a bolt to allow for lifting of both sides at once.

About Me

I was born and raised in Hawaii but currently living in Portland, Oregon. Growing up in Hawaii, food was a way of bringing family and friends together. People in Hawaii LOVE their food! I like to think that I'm continuing this tradition from afar!
I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. Food is my passion! I love to eat and try new cuisines. I love to cook and bake (but hate cleaning up). I’m addicted to the Food Network, kitchen gadgets, yummy restaurants, the Farmer's Market and food adventures. I love to take recipes and recreate them. A few years ago, I started testing out the color of my thumb on vegetable gardening. I love the success of harvesting your own crops grown from your own hard work! I am growing in Zone 8b.
I occasionally do arts and crafts. I love photography and traveling. My favorite travel destinations thus far have been Mexico, Italy, Japan, Thailand, Greece, France, Vietnam, Cambodia and Guatemala. I think they're my favorites because of the food!
